The sovereignty issue is irrelevant. Gibraltar is hardly the only pirate haven of Her Majesty. Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Jersey ...

Yes, but in or near the EU makes a difference.

I assume one of the issues is that Gibraltar charges lower taxes on its residents than Spain does?

In the EU do you get taxed based on where you work or where you live?

It's not taxes on residents that are the problem. It goes further than that. Picture the Cayman Islands to get an idea.

An added problem is smuggling. One of the main sources of income (both sides of the border) is using fast boats or bikes based in Gibraltar to drop off at the beaches goods that are either taxed heavily in Spain (tobacco) or downright illegal (drugs).

It's a proper noun.  You don't translate it.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

What about country names and firstnames for people in history?

Oops.

Though I left out the accent marks and extra punctuation on purpose because they're difficult to access on my keyboard and are unnecessary for conveying meaning. :)

It looks like it's not just the UK government that is against border checks. A smuggler ran over Spanish cop at the border today.

That's weird.  When I was in Europe the UK was the only country that bothered with things like border checks.

Yes, Europe is not in the Schengen but is in the EU. Norway, however, is in Schengen, but not the EU.

And to think Spain was once the most powerful country in the wold.
